Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!

Rod Smith, a #veteran and extremely brave resister in #Alabama, is saying that people come up to him in the street and thank him for speaking out-- they say they'll lose their jobs if they speak against #Trump but they are very grateful to him.

He says that even in deep red states there are a lot more people than you realize who are supporting the #resistance

Hats off to all the brave people speaking up in #MAGA counties and states!

What a world.

“To be so sh--ty to the people who are supposed to be implementing your agenda, and to treat us the way we’ve been treated, it’s just ridiculous,” said an Air Force #veteran and longtime Defense Department employee who voted for #Trump three times.
